Barcelona's Lima Horta women's basketball team has secured a coveted play-off spot for promotion to the Liga Femenina, Spain's top division. This follows a thrilling final regular season match. The team celebrated their 75-59 victory over Domusa Teknik at the Pavelló del Virolai, finishing eighth in the league standings.
The decisive win, combined with other league results, sparked a huge celebration. Fans packed the Horta district venue. Coach Ramon Reigada's players danced and cheered with their supporters after the final buzzer. Lula Roig, a key player, attributed their success to a focused approach. "The key has been not thinking too much about being in the play-off," Roig told betevé. She is one of only two players who remained with the squad last summer.
Lima Horta's Impressive Season
Lima Horta's entry into the play-offs comes after an impressive run. They achieved five consecutive victories. This strong finish propelled them into contention for a return to the Liga Femenina. The Barcelona club has only competed for two seasons previously in this division. The team will now face Unicaja Mijas in the quarter-finals of the promotion play-offs.
Challenging Road Ahead for Lima Horta
The schedule for these crucial play-off matches is still to be determined. Lima Horta faces a challenging opponent in Unicaja Mijas. The Barcelona side lost both of their previous encounters against the Málaga team this season. Scores were 90-47 in Andalusia and a narrow 76-79 defeat in Barcelona.
Despite the past results, the team's recent form and determination will be critical. They will try to overcome Unicaja Mijas and advance further in their promotion bid. The Horta community eagerly anticipates the upcoming play-off fixtures.
